Lsherm:I bought the whole series years ago on DVD for $5 at Best Buy. Best $5 I ever spent. I have no idea why BB couldn't just ship the DVDs back, because that had to be less than what they paid for it.

nice... i keep waiting for the blu-ray edition to stop being $100 so much

check Amazon closer to the holidays. 2 years ago, I picked up the complete series blu-ray for a little more than 50 bucks.

GRCooper:Awesome show - I even liked the ending (the badasses got biatchslapped by someone infinitely more ruthless and powerfull)

Exactly. Sure, more seasons would have been nice, but the ending is perfect for what Milch wanted to say. There is no frontier in America, there is no freedom, there's only brief pockets of agency and relative innocence before it's irrevocably corrupted by those with money. At the end of the final episode, what's happened: Hearst gets away with everything, Deadwood is more city than camp, Swearingen and Bullock are left to watch Hearst ride off, mouths agape and impotent, as nothing they could do could "save" the camp. We don't need to see gunfights with Hearst's mercenaries to know that Deadwood, as it was in the hearts of its founders, was long since dead.

It's all just amalgamation and capital. And the most telling moment of the series is that Bullock did not know the import of that expression.

I really need to watch the series again. Probably one of my favourite shows of all time Just hard finding the time when you have a 3 year old who always wants to know what you are doing. Too many words there she doesn't need to take to preschool.

That said with regards to the cancellation, there is tons of blame to go around. I mean yes HBO did pull the plug, but at the same time from what I read Milch was pretty much checked out after the 3rd season. I mean they gave him the chance to do a shortened season, not to mention the movies.The fact that those didn't get made seems to be all on him.
